I admire Madonna, Garth Brooks and Lady Gaga for the same reasons. They all said, “I’m going to do this thing.”, and did it. And they sure aimed high.
I don’t think that’s what’s meant. It’s not that he set out to do a thing and achieved it; it’s that he set out to do what a child dreamed of but now he’s a grown man.
